"Dear environmentalists,
Who are you? Who are you to tell me to stop eating meat? Who are you to tell me that the world temperature is changing? Who are you to tell me I am destroying the world? It's you too! You sitting there telling me not to eat cows are just as bad for taking up land to use for farming your tasteless, grass foods. You are taking the earth away too!"
Alright enough of the bull. Do people even realize how stupid they sound when they are trying to hold an argument against any of the things environmentalist talk about? Listen, sorry your 16 ounce steak was cooked too much and now you're in a twist.
Earth is all we have. They say that if we put earth time on a 24 hour scale, that humans would be just a few minute before midnight. It takes a while to really grasp that concept but think about it. We are only a few minutes before the next day starts. That includes everything we have done, good or bad.

We are here. We made it! only just starting to walk on feet and make tools. Life is flourishing. Flowers, trees, animal are all sprawling. Everything is beautiful. But we are starving! Animals taste okay Maybe we could use that flame stuff to make it better. Who knows? The future is just around the corner. It's just about tomorrow.
11:52
This is it. There is a plague going around. We don't really know what caused it but lots of people in the towns are dying. They say its being spread all over the world. Maybe the water has just been polluted.
11:53
We are working. There are these huge machines and they make everything we do easier. They make a lot of smoke stuff go into the sky but that is okay! We have plenty of nice air what will a little bad air do?
11:54
We found a new place to inhabit. It's cold and rocky and nice. There are these weird natives but its okay we just enslave them. They get sick a lot! We found this crop called tobacco. It kills the soil its planted in but it makes us money so it's okay!
11:55
We have done so much in this new world we have created. People everywhere are planting, cutting timber, everything!!! People are also having wars. That parts not so nice. But it's okay!
11:56
These atomic weapons are scary. We are all going to die! There is going to be a drop. Oh man. We are all going to die!
11:57
Everything turned out okay. The air is pretty dense with pollution though. Animals have gone extinct, but thats natural right? The ocean is full of trash but we have a little group of people working on that...they can fix it right?
11:58
We can do stuff to help fix what we did! We can recycle, and eat less meat, drive less, carpool more. Not all of us have to though. Someone else can do it right?
11:59
Now we have to finish. What are we going to do for our minute? We create the future. We create the next 24 hour cycle. We see to whether or not our life times end in atomic fallout, or gliding hover crafts that run on solar power.
Case in mind, we haven't been here all that long. The world isn't ours to destroy. We are but a mere few minutes of the roating clock of the world. We don't need to change that by making ourselves a fire we can't smother out.
That's the thing. We haven't made totally ireversable mistakes. It's not hard to fix the problems we have created. I'm not saying go vegan and never eat another strip of bacon or chicken nugget (however, if you want to then power to you). I'm not saying throw away your car and invest in a horse and cart (I mean if you're interested in the Amish lifestyle go for it). I'm not saying you have to rally, protest, or even leave your house (but human interaction is advised). Simply cutting down on that daily 6 ounce steak (red meat isn't all that great for your body to digest to begin with but that a different story). Just walk if it's close enough or carpool with friends (there's that human interaction). Put up a recycling bin in your house, or make a little garden.
Earth is our home. This is our planet and if we can't keep is safe and living and breathing and beautiful in the last few minutes then how are we going to start a new day?
We are the change. So why aren't we taking the advantage of being the change? I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a dirty world.
